Jan 10, 2021 by apost team

Alle kvinder vil gerne forblive attraktive, når de bliver ældre. Vi gør vores bedste for at tage os af os selv og være opmærksomme på nye trends. Fader Tid har dog en måde at gøre sin tilstedeværelse synlig på.

Skuespillerinde Jane Fonda, der blev 83 år den 21. december 2020, bliver ved med at forbløffe alle ved at se omkring to årtier yngre ud, end hun i virkeligheden er. Her er hendes tips til at se godt ud og føle sig lige sådan.

Fra tid til anden ser vi et eksempel på ufalmet skønhed, der giver os alle den optimisme og inspiration, som vi har brug for. Jane Fonda er et af disse lysende eksempler, ikke kun fysisk men også åndeligt – hun er lige så smuk på ydersiden som hun er indvendigt. Verdensstjernen har dog noget insider-viden om skønhed og aldring, som hun er villig til at dele med alle os andre. Og mens noget af det er relateret til udvendig skønhed, finder noget af det også anvendelse på indersiden.

Jane Fonda dukkede først op på biograflærredet i 1960'erne. Hendes fans var begejstrede for hendes optrædener i film som Fun With Dick And Jane, A Doll's House, Better Living Through Chemistry, og selvfølgelig klassikerne Barbarella og Klute. Fonda forlod Hollywood et par gange gennem årene, men hun vendte altid tilbage for at begejstre sine fans igen. Der var også en tid, hvor Fonda var kendt for sine træningsvideoer til aerobic.

I et 2019-interview med Vogue, var Fonda åben omkring nogle af de mange sundhedsforskrækkelser, hun har oplevet i sine 83 år. Fra kræft til mastektomi og osteoporose fortalte hun om en stærk sindsstemning, der måske giver noget indblik i, hvordan hun formår at fortsætte tempoet i sin alder. Hun sagde:

“Jeg troede ikke, jeg nogensinde ville leve så længe – eller føle, at jeg er hel eller er ved at blive hel. Jeg føler mig meget bevidst om at indse, at det er op til mig, hvordan denne sidste del af mit liv foregår.”

Udover hendes bidrag til feminisme og måden, hvorpå en kvinde ældes, er Fonda også kendt for at lave bølger med sin politiske aktivisme. Hun mistede næsten sin karriere efter at have besøgt Nordvietnam i 1970'erne. Medierne kaldte hende en forræder, og efterbølgen blev følt overalt i verden. I september 2020 udgav hun en bog med titlen What Can I Do? My Path From Climate Despair to Action, hvor hun inspirerende aktivister og os ganske almindelige dødelige til at gribe takstaven og gøre en forskel.

Gennem det hele er Fonda en legende på lærredet, forfatter, filantrop og model. Og nu vil hun fortælle os, hvordan hun tilsyneladende har bremset tidens gnavende tand.

Selvom hun er mange år forbi de dage, hvor hun producerede træningsvideoer, stoppede Fonda aldrig med at træne. Hun kombinerer sit regelmæssige træningsprogram med god og sund kost. Hudens temperatur bliver øget under træning, og dette stimulerer produktionen af kollagen. Denne proces hjælper med at opretholde hudens elasticitet.

At blive ældre behøver ikke blot at være en dårlig oplevelse, det kan også være en ret smuk én. Fonda lever et liv fyldt med optimisme og føler, at dette er en af de vigtigste komponenter for at forblive smuk i sine seniorår.

Alt for mange mennesker tror, at de ikke er i stand til at opgive deres dårlige vaner, når de først har haft dem i en periode. Jane Fonda ved dog, at dette ikke er sandheden. Den sundhed og glødende skønhed, som Fonda nyder i 82-års alderen, er bevis på, at hun ved nøjagtigt, hvad hun taler om.

Usundt hår kan afsløre en kvindes alder lige så hurtigt som hud, der ikke behandles ordentligt. Imidlertid hjælper hår, der er godt vedligeholdt, med at opretholde et ungdommeligt udseende.

Ting som bitre kommentarer og hård kritik kan forstyrre balancen i dit liv. Fonda giver en regel, der har hjulpet hende med dette problem. Hun beder andre om ikke at give disse kommentarer opmærksomged, medmindre de har fortjent din opmærksomhed. Et enkelt blik på et foto af Fonda, og du vil se hendes uigennemtrængelige udstråling.

Jane forklarer, at vigtigheden af god søvnkvalitet øges, når vi bliver ældre. Hendes råd er at sørge for, at du får den søvn, som du engang ignorerede i din ungdom.

So according to Jane Fonda, the secrets to maintaining a youthful appearance and attitude are staying active, being positive, keeping good habits, caring for your hair, staying calm, and ensuring you get enough sleep. While these tips might seem obvious, we all know that it's all too easy to fall off and forget about looking after ourselves, especially when life is busy. Her simple, no-nonsense guide is relatively easy to uphold and is a reminder that it's important to take time out for ourselves, as it will have a ripple effect on the rest of our lives.

Although Jane Fonda's words of wisdom would be true coming from anybody, they're particularly meaningful coming from her. As an accomplished actress, model, environmentalist, and activist, Fonda has broken the mold for what a celebrity can do and that is truly inspiring. Let's take a look at her incredible life.

The daughter of actor Henry Fonda and socialite Frances Ford Brokaw, Jane Seymour Fonda was born on December 21, 1937, in New York City. Named after Jane Seymour, the third wife of Henry VIII, she was actually distantly related to her on her mom's side. Allegedly because of this, the young Jane Fonda was called "Lady" in reference to "Lady Jane" up until the fourth grade.

One year after her birth, her parents had another child, a son named Peter Fonda, who would also go on to have a high-profile acting career just like his older sister. But before the famous siblings even became adults, tragedy struck in the family. When Jane Fonda was 12, her mother took her own life while undergoing treatment in a psychiatric hospital.

In 2018, Fonda opened up to People Magazine about her mother's death, stating:

“If you have a parent who is not capable of showing up, not capable of reflecting you back through eyes of love, it has a big impact on your sense of self."

She goes on to say that as a child, you think it's your fault. But while writing her 2005 memoir My Life So Far, Fonda was able to access medical records and "really try to figure her out." She adds that she "never knew her because she suffered from bipolarity." Ultimately she was able to understand her mother better and find a resolution after many decades. She said:

“When you go through that kind of research…if you can come to answers, which I was able to do, you end up being able to say, ‘It had nothing to do with me,'” Fonda says. It wasn’t that I wasn’t lovable. They had issues,” she adds. “And the minute you know that, you can feel tremendous empathy for them. And you can forgive.”

Clearly a very formative experience in her life, another one would come less than a decade later, when in 1958 she met Lee Strasberg. After attending Vassar College for a short while before dropping out and heading to Paris for six months, Fonda's meeting with Strasberg upon her return to the States led to her decision to take up acting. She said of the meeting:

"I went to the Actors Studio and Lee Strasberg told me I had talent. Real talent. It was the first time that anyone, except my father–who had to say so–told me I was good. At anything. It was a turning point in my life. I went to bed thinking about acting. I woke up thinking about acting. It was like the roof had come off my life!"

The rest, as they say, is history. Fonda's career began on the theater stage in the late 1950s before moving into films. From 1960 onwards, she made roughly two films a year throughout the decade. While her work was celebrated—she won a Most Promising Newcomer Golden Globe Award in 1962—she also had her detractors. But by 1965's Cat Ballou, she had her breakthrough and by the end of the decade, she was already being selective about the film roles she was taking, even turning down the leads in Bonnie and Clyde and Rosemary's Baby.

The '70s saw Fonda win her first Academy Award in 1971 for Klute, while a second followed in 1978 for Coming Home. It was during this period of critical acclaim that she began to act in fewer movies and as she stated, mostly just in ones that focused on important issues. By the decade's end, Jane Fonda would get her wish of acting alongside her father Henry Fonda in the movie On Golden Pond. Both of them earned Academy Award nominations—the first father and daughter to do so for the same movie—and although she didn't win, Henry Fonda did. However, Jane Fonda accepted it on his behalf as he was too ill to attend the ceremony. Only five months later he would pass away.

Fonda kept on acting but also began to diversify into other areas including a highly successful aerobics franchise in the '80s before she officially retired from acting in 1991. But while she was gone for nearly 15 years, she eventually made her way back to the screen in 2005's Monster-in-Law. Since then she's acted on both the stage and screen as well as keeping up her activist work. In 2018 there was even a documentary made about her life titled Jane Fonda in Five Acts. 

From her acting work to her passion for good causes, Jane Fonda is an inspiration to us all. Considering everything she's achieved in her still very active life, it'd be smart to take a leaf out of her book.
